Conferences

The Manuscript Centre aims to organise various conferences dedicated to different topics concerning the Islamic written heritage.

In particular, the Centre focuses on two main aspects related to the preservation of Islamic Manuscripts: editing and cataloguing.

The main activities of the Manuscript Centre provide a deep insight into both editing and cataloguing practices, also thanks to the conferences which gather scholars, academics and specialists on Islamic manuscripts from all around the world.

Al-Furqān Islamic Heritage Foundation organised an international conference on the Noble Qur’ān, titled “The Noble Qur’ān from Revelation to Compilation”, which took place in Istanbul, on Saturday and Sunday, 26-27 November 2017CE (8-9 Rabī‘ al-Awwal 1438AH). The conference witnessed a significant scholarly presence, with the participation of thirteen specialist researchers . . .

The Conference was attended by thirty highly qualified expert delegates in the different disciplines from British and International higher education and heritage institutions. The lectures were presented by a group of leading scholars and critical editors from around the world.

As part of its continuous activities over 25 years, Al-Furqān Islamic Heritage Foundation held its Sixth Conference on Islamic Manuscripts, under the title: “Editing Islamic Manuscripts on Social Sciences and Humanities”.
